Lisa from Suffolk Registrars was amazing and made it so special for us and we were just lost in the moment,” remembers Sophie. Following the ceremony there was the usual confetti throwing and a sparkler entrance to dinner which produced some great photos. “When the sun went down, we also had some shots taken out in the rain, which was freezing, but so worth it!” Sophie recalls. After dinner there were plenty of emotional speeches,with hardly a dry eye in the house. Sophie and Chris had their first dance and there was time to relax and chat before winding up at 9pm. “It didn’t feel as manic as many weddings, we had lots of moments where we could just soak it all up and because we’d just come out of lockdown the day before, I think it was more emotional and personal. It was just so heartwarming to have our nearest and dearest together,” adds Sophie. Although their cruise honeymoon had to be put on hold, they stayed at Seckford Hall Hotel in Woodbridge for their wedding night. “It was so lovely,” remembers Sophie. “They even upgraded us to the honeymoon suite which was amazing and when we woke up the next morning it was snowing which felt really magical!” “We were both so thankful to finally be able to have our special day and grateful to everyone who made it possible. Although it rained and didn’t really stop, we embraced it and got some fantastic photos!” – Sophie
